Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

Fengying sensed the danger and warned, "Mingkong, the sound barriers are approaching from behind... no, from all directions."

The demonic sound barrier that was about to be severed by Chu Mingkong was quickly repaired, and then similar barriers attacked from all directions, trying to crush him inside.

Chu Mingkong had no choice but to abandon his offensive. He swung his sword around and tried his best to cut off some of the sound fragments from the demonic sound barrier, but the rest still hit him.

With a deafening roar, the sonic boom from the collision of the demonic sounds shattered the heavens and the earth.

"This is the fate of your lowly status!" The demon egg maid opened her mouth wide and laughed wildly. She used a fleshy tentacle to probe into the egg to check the situation and collect nutrients, but it was casually swept off by the snake tail.

Chu Mingkong stood among them, twisted his neck, and black blood body revealed snake scales, which were the ones that blocked the previous bombardment.

Although this was somewhat unexpected, Chu Mingkong could be said to have wanted to take a hit and see his current level.

If only we could ascertain the maid's strength and level, but unfortunately, she would certainly not pay any attention to it easily.

"If even the maid of a parasitic egg has such an arrogant temper, where did you raise her? It's a good opportunity to learn your methods. I'll kill you and see what knowledge and understanding I can gain."

Chu Mingkong drew attention directly, while Feng Ying had already silently disappeared into the shadows.

Her all-out attack, like a night-blooming cereus blooming silently, revealed its brilliance as the dagger in her hand pierced straight towards the demon egg.

The sharp dagger simply pierced the egg, but a great deal of hidden force burst forth from a single point, and the hard eggshell was actually pierced and cracked!

"Your Highness, Heavenly Demon Prince, it was my fault for not protecting you properly, please calm down!" The demon egg maid was terrified.

A small amount of the demon egg's power leaked out from the crack, causing the demon egg to shake violently, as if it were enraged after being abruptly awakened. The demon egg's maid suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which was absorbed and filled into the crack on the eggshell, but it was not able to completely repair it.

Because a considerable portion of the maid's power was used to perform escape techniques, the demon egg cherished its own power extremely and was reluctant to use even a fraction of it.

Upon seeing a black claw appear near the demon egg, a familiar sight, Chu Mingkong realized that the demon egg was trying to escape again, just like it had done in the palace. He manipulated the black snake to bite it.

"Is the carelessness of a foolish maid really beyond my control? A rare young man capable of wielding extreme Yin power, I'll dissect you to find out more and put your control methods to my own use. I regret letting you go last time, this big fish!"

The black claw paused, then transformed into an old woman and flew out, while the demon egg escaped under the old woman's cover.

Chapter 427 Arrogance of the Superior

Chu Mingkong hadn't experienced many situations where he'd beaten up the younger one and then the older one came along, but since he'd actually encountered it now, it wasn't surprising.

The maid just now even called that egg "Heavenly Demon Prince," so it's normal that the egg has some other bodyguards.

But what is the state of this old woman's abilities?

Chu Mingkong scrutinized the old woman. She stood in the void, her aura no different from that of an ordinary person.

Chu Mingkong asked Feng Ying for confirmation, but her senses also couldn't discern the old woman's cultivation level.

It's easy to let one's guard down if one only senses the aura, but the origin of this aura makes it hard for him to lower his guard.

"Old woman, what is your name? What is your background?" Chu Mingkong remained calm and showed no intention of backing down.

He had already secretly prepared the incantation for the Boundless Heaven, and could now run into it to hide at any time.

But now that everything is prepared, I can't just run away. I have to scold her a few times before I leave.

Chu Mingkong didn't know whether it was true or not, but it was rare to encounter a group of people who claimed to be related to the Tianyu people, so he had to ask them for more information.

"My name? That foolish maidservant just now casually recited the name of the Heavenly Demon Prince, but did she really think she was worthy to know my name?"

The old woman's tone was one of disdain and anger, like that of a high-ranking official in a mortal dynasty being offended by a commoner.

Chu Mingkong was neither humble nor arrogant; his curiosity outweighed his fear, and beneath his cautious demeanor lay a frivolous and arrogant air.

"I wondered how that little maid could be so arrogant. It turns out she learned it from you. Stealing chickens and dogs, acting as a parasite, hiding in other people's dynasties and palaces for who knows how many years, harming countless golden crows and phoenixes."

"They feed on parasites, and now they're running around with their parasite eggs, harming these innocent people, and they think it's something to be proud of?"

After the maid with several compound eyes died, most of the trapped cultivators were freed.

However, those Heavenly Eye Witches who appeared due to the Yin Time could not escape their fate. Perhaps it was because their "nutrient content" was relatively high. When the demon egg was repairing itself, it prioritized absorbing the maid and the Yin Time people.

On the contrary, these ordinary cultivators were lucky enough to survive. Of course, they were just ordinary cultivators. Some old guys who came out of seclusion to seek opportunities became the "nutrients" that were absorbed first.

Listening to this cryptic conversation, they all looked solemn and dazed.

The previous exchange and the current conversation are beyond their comprehension.

"What...what is this? What kind of force is this that is so powerful! Even high-level cultivators in seclusion are like weeds, unable to resist in the slightest?"

"That enchantress who used the flute to her advantage was just a maidservant. What level of cultivation did she attain?"

"I wonder if that man who transformed into a black giant is Chu Mingkong, who previously showed his prowess in the Heavenly Palace. His extremely yin fire spiritual energy matches, but I have never seen this black python before."

Chu Mingkong was on high alert, keeping a close watch on what methods the old woman might use to seal off this place and prevent him from entering or leaving Wuxiang Heaven.

He overheard the conversation of those ordinary cultivators and thought to himself, "Why aren't these guys leaving yet? They're still watching the show. When I go to Wuxiangtian, these cultivators will be the first ones to be attacked."

However, thinking about it from another perspective, it's not entirely their fault, because the demonic sound had affected these cultivators so much that they hadn't even recovered their mobility.

The white-haired old woman, instead of being angry at Chu Mingkong's words, laughed, even hunching over and revealing her rough, yellow teeth.

"Young man, you're going to make this old woman laugh to death. For you, being able to become nourishment for the Heavenly Demon Prince is an incredible stroke of luck, and one of the few opportunities to enter the Heavenly Realm. Compared to dying meaninglessly, becoming nourishment for a great person is an opportunity and achievement for you to change your destiny!"

"Since it's such a glorious thing, why did you run away so fast when your eggs were discovered to be parasites? I'm much more assertive than you even as the old king in the palace."

Could it be that your faction is just a bunch of worthless nobodys in the Heavenly Realm, secretly developing your power for fear of being discovered?

Chu Mingkong's sarcastic questioning made the old woman's face immediately darken:

"You little brat, are you trying to trick me into revealing information about the Heavenly Realm? Ha, don't you think that's pathetic?"

Some mundane things, things that I find utterly tiresome, are things that you people find so hard to find out.

Alright, I won't say any more. Everything you're curious about, I'll show you. Now, let me find out what your secret really is!

After the demon egg maid exploded and died, the bone flute she left behind flew into the old woman's hand, still stained with blood mist.

"Foolish maids, let this old woman show you the power of the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Demon Song!"

The bone flute had barely played a note when it suddenly fell silent again. The old woman looked in a certain direction with a puzzled expression; something was approaching.

The sound of the waves seemed to come from nowhere, yet it grew clearer and clearer, as if the boundless ocean had brought the tides here.

A massive sword, gleaming with the light of frost and moonlight, flew towards the old woman, forcefully pushing her back to the edge of the void where she had appeared.

"It can't even be called an avatar, it's just a projection pretending to be something it's not!" Yuehe walked over, her tall and beautiful figure particularly eye-catching.

The old woman's cloudy, yellowish eyes suddenly sharpened. She repeatedly looked at the blade of Yuehe's thrusting sword, then solemnly examined her aura, as if recalling something, or perhaps guessing:

"You are...? No, you're also from the Yin Era?"

But Yuehe was a man who didn't mince words. He raised his hand and conjured several moon-colored sword blades, which crashed down like mountains, giving the old woman no chance to speak and directly obliterating the place where she had appeared.

Seeing this, Chu Mingkong glanced at it regretfully, then temporarily activated the Domain of Annihilation, encompassing Yuehe as well.

"Yuehe, what are you doing here?"

"The cat told me to find you," Yuehe said calmly, as if she hadn't just made the move.

"Uh..." Chu Mingkong was a little speechless. "I remember I gave the cat enough treats, so why is it suddenly looking for me?"

"After we finished eating, she also mentioned that you secretly ran away and bribed her with snacks not to tell me... But there's no cat here. With all this commotion, I could sense it. I was the one who led you to Chamento back then."

That's true. Chamentuo was in a hurry when Yuehe spotted him and used him as practice.

However, he had come out of the dark about Yuehe on this trip, and now that this little girl, Maomao, had exposed his secret, he was quite embarrassed.

He said subtly:

"Ahem, because I sensed that there was a fake Yin Time Gate here, and not wanting you to worry too much about this place, I came here to confirm it myself."

This far-fetched reason naturally couldn't fool Yuehe:

"You knew it was fake, so why did you come to confirm it? Was it that old woman who said it?"

"Cough cough!" Chu Mingkong himself felt that his cough was stiff. "Let's go, let's go and take a look at that Yin Time Gate now."

Chapter 428 The Result Was Predestined

The cultivators lingered there for a long time, as if they had inadvertently stumbled upon some secret of heaven and earth.

Although those mysterious events seemed very distant, and Chu Mingkong and the people from that unknown force had already left, the old woman's sarcastic words lingered in their ears like their numb legs.

Is it something to be grateful for simply to become someone else's nourishment and fuel?

Is this very time of darkness the food and nourishment for those mysterious beings?

The old woman's disdain and contempt were heartfelt, not a spur-of-the-moment sarcastic remark. Rather, they were as natural as an explanation of the laws of nature, such as the rising and setting of the sun and moon.

Amidst the devastation of Baihua Village, their silence and bewilderment lingered.

Having regained his strength, he reluctantly composed himself and left.

......

An awkward silence also filled Chu Mingkong's area...

He didn't want to attract too much attention, so even after relinquishing the Abyss Transformation, he maintained the Domain of Annihilation.

Not only did Yuehe find out about his actions without his knowledge, but she also had to help him. This was truly humiliating.

Chu Mingkong also comforted himself, at least Yuehe's intervention was not necessary, because he could really take Fengying and Zuo Qiuchi into Wuxiangtian.

When Chu Mingkong was forcibly dragged in by the goddess and bodhisattva, only his soul was trapped in the Wuxiang Heaven. However, if he were to enter voluntarily, it would not only be his soul but also his body.

Therefore, there will be no problem hiding in the Realm of No Thought. If only the soul hides while the body remains outside, then it is a ridiculous act of self-deception.

When Chu Mingkong was studying the Bodhisattva's lineage, the moment he understood this point, his thoughts wandered far beyond...

For example, when he was first converted by the goddess, he almost attacked her in a ghost-like state.

From another perspective, if one encounters a female ghost with a large buttocks who has no physical form someday, one can directly drag her into the Realm of No Thought and perform a Buddhist ritual to deliver her from suffering.

"We're here! This is the so-called Gate of the Underworld? It's so big?!" Zuo Qiuchi's surprised voice rang out.

A halo appeared before them. This halo was gray in color, and looking through it, it appeared distorted and unclear, with occasional flashes of strange light, giving the impression that it contained an opportunity.
